SYLVANIA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 188*2.
TAK.W Wtlltfi root JIAU.
In the Southern portion of the cotton
states the corn crop is usually made or
lost by the first of July. The greater
and more important part of tho gr< w h
oftlie plants occurs during this iiiondi.
flic incipient tassels and tender shoots
commence u rapid developement, and
should be ready to spring forth with
vigor under the influence of the warm
sunshine and genial showers of June.
The early workings in April and Mny
should hrivebcen prompt and thorough
and the final touch ol the plow should
lie given before the tassels begin to
ippenr. This last work should be very
shallow—a mere -tiering of the sur
face to the depth ofless than one inch—
avoiding as far as possible cut
tting and mutilating the roots. How
ever well “root pruning” may do in
Massachusetts, it does not appear to be
suited to this latitude. Advantage
should he taken of the lust working to
sow pi as broadcast, and if seed are
scarce it is better to sow thinly—even
no more than a peek to the acre, and
go over the larger area, 'the benefit
to the land will be equal to or greater
than the value of the peas that may be
matured.
COTTON.
So far as working the crop is con
cerne l, June is also a critical mouth
for cotton. The main object in cult
ure at this time should be to induce a
vigorous growth of weed before, the
period when the energies of the plant
will be diverted to maturing the square
or , bolls. Ihis is especially true .
thin lands in Middle and Southwest
Georgia, where a full crop is often
possihie. on account oftlie divarfwl
size ot .... the stalks. , ,, Iu T the ,, use, ot
mercial fertilizers on cotton, it i*
thought that the chief value of the am -
monials in se-urtug a rapid and early
developement of the •’weed” before the
heavy first crop of the voting bolls and
sqmires stops farther growth. Culti
vation should be frequent, and ot «i
mtnishiug depth as th ? season progn s
•SCS.
1 UCAS ON sti db.'.k LAND.
After the small gram crops have
been harvested, the hogs should be al
'owed the run of the fields for a week
or two, and then advantage should be
taken , of seasons as they occur to . sow
ocas on every acre possible. Part
the vines may be converted into hay
ind the vine ne ' is mav be eatbered ” bv
*
lami , or by , stock , on the , remainder. . ,
The benefit to the land 5 n either case
will more than repav the labor expen -
el ami the leiv and puts r,eas will be
dear profit.
POTATOES.
Continue to set out draws from the
>ed if thrifty and vbo ous. Later on
it is better to plant cuttings from the
vines, as the latter develop tubers
her after setting and they will keep
better. Remember that the ground
bon Id always be freshly plowed just
before setting slips or cuttings. U is
tnore than equivalent to a good
in>’' to start them in fresh mellow soil.
Tliev Will not onlv live better but will
require less work, as grass will n"!
come up until after another rain. The
potatoes intended for seed should be
grown from cut vines; at least it is the
o.nrnoiily , received . , opinion . . that , , ,
tubers thus grown will produce
ther, hotter shaped potatoes next,
son : and ne think our own experience
sir tains the belief. It is certainly true
that late grown potatoes keep
and this consideration itself, is
eient to justify attention to this point
As this seems to be a year of revival
in farming—and by this we mean a
renewed effort to return to a wise and
elf sustaining system—we trust
f.irmers ,vi„
the area m sweet potatoes and extend
the economic uses of (lie cron. There
are few, ifanv, crops that will produce
-o larsre a quantity of wholesome fat
end ngfood forstock as the sweet potato
,Vo all understand and appreciate its
value , as food . tor the table, yet even for
Ills purpose they arc not grown and
pose, veil in sufficient quantities to
upplv • the home demand, to sav noth
. mgof distant markets: , . . but . as food tor
domestic animals their use is practic
ally measured by the gleanings afford
ed to the hogs after the patches have
been more or less , harvested. , , , Very
few farmers plant more than ,ki or Io
acre of potatoes to the plow. Indeed
the area devoted to Ihein is oftener reg
ulated by the number iu the household
of the fanner, than with any reference
to the size oftlie farm or the number
°*" mules? cattle and hogs to he sustain
,>l1 ’ IIe is generally aatisfied to
<]| ico a six months supply for table
use.
In our judgment the sweet potato
should he the turnip of the South, in
most ............... valuable crops .<» grown »»»,n in England.
Our climate, and the present condition
of our agriculture, is not suited to the
tie], V cuht.re ' of turnips ’ or their
duction of stock , feed. .. , We have . been .
tm prone, iu otr efforts at improve
incuts in farming, to inculcate English
methods, and recommend English 0 f ai l

and mangolds, lor stock feeding in the
South, it is not for want ofplmt.v wan't o.
advice to do > 0 , but rather a of
encouraging results of experiments . that ,
have been made.
But the sweet potato is not ot.lv well

“Mome, Sweet Home."
--
Just nineteen years ago. or in the
spring of 1863, two great armies were
encamped on either side of the Itappa
bannock; one dressed in blue, thnoth
r in gray. As twilight fell the bands
on the Union side began to pbiv the
patriotic notes of ••The Star Spangled
Banner and "Railv Round tin; I-lag.
Bovs," and that challenge of music was
taken up by those on the other side,
and they responded with Bonnie the ef|tialh Blue
patriotic, strains of ••The
, I g” and ‘‘Away Down South in
Dixie.’’ It was borne in upon the sum
of a single soldier in one of those
bands of music to begin a sweeter and
more tender air. and slowly as lie play
'd it there joined ina sort Union of chorus
the instruments upon the side
until finally a great ind mighly chorus
swelled up and down our army, for
the soul inspiring notes of "Home.
Sweet Home” floated in the air. When
thev had finished there was no dial
e, ge yonder, for every hand ’ipon the
oilier shore had taken up the lovely air,
so attuned to all that is holiest and
dearest, and one great chorus ot _ the
two great hosts went up to God, and
wben tin?v had finished, from the boys
u grav cainoachalhttge, -i Threecheers
-or home!” and they went up, resoun
ding to the skies, from boU» sides ot
the river; for the time being the two
armies forgot grim war ami only

j The principal trouble, howevar, in
j our climate, is keeping the first crop
ihrough our long summers. They eith
sprout or shriveU.or both beforewin
ter ami become worthless as lood. ihe
question then is, how to get a supply
lor winter use from our own gardens.
This has been accomplished ’with ut
most satisfaction by bedding the small
potatoes from the spring crop just as
the sweet potato is bedded for slips in
the spring. When the spring crop i?
dug, cull out the potatoes from the
size of a lien's egg down, and expose
them to light, but not to the direct
rays of tho sun, for several weeks.
This will prepare them for sprouting
without producing rot. About the
first of August prepare a bed at some
point convenient to water, and bed
them just as sweet potatoes are bedded
except that no manure need he used to
force them. Spread the potatoes thin
ly—not nearer tlism an inch of each
otuer—and cover with three inches of
wood smol 1 or light loam. The wood
-mold or loam is recommended be
cause they will not form a crust over
the bid after watering. Keep the
bed moist, but not saturated with wa
tc” 1 ist rot be produced. When tiie
bed is watered, wet thoroughly to the
potatoes, rather than give a light
sprinkle daily, just moistening the
surface.
When the plants appear above the
surfa. .N f the gicuii l, take them up
with the potato adhering and trans
plant.both. If more than one sprout
comes from the same tuber cut, between
t.icm and sei the part - in different bills.
Have the hind ready and transplant
every few days as fast as a sufficient
number of plains appear to justify at
tention. If tho ground is dry, pour a
p j„( 0 f water into each hill around the
H’Lnt, tising care to wver ail nmisteu
| e<l soil with dry, to prevent baking,
By this means a fall crop of potatoes

He was now in a terrible plight.
To jump off was certain death, and if
he remained on the track the train
would crush him to pieces. Thtere
was no woodwork beneath tlie bridge
for him to hang on to. so he saw that
his only chance was to swing on to a
small iron rod that passed under the
crossties. No time was: to’ ho
lost as the train was nearly on the. end
of the bridge. So he swung himself
under the ties, aim in a few moments
was hanging on for dear life. The
engineer had seen him just before he
swung under the bridge and tried to
stop the train, but did more harm than
good, as lie only succeeded in cheeking
the speed of the train and made it a
longer time in passing over the form
of Rickards. As the engineer passed
over the'coats of fire from the ashpan
cropped on his hands, burning the
flesh to the, hone, as he could not shake
them off, and to let go would have
been certain death',
The trial was at length over, and,
